- In this video we'll add bevels…and curved edges to our step using the fillet edge…and chamfer edge tools.…We can find these tools up on the ribbon…under solid editing or we can type them…into the command line.…First, let's use chamfer edge.…I want to work on this recessed face here.…When we're working with chamfer edge…we can either select edges or also loops…that are made up of multiple edges.…

Which is what we want to do in this case…so I'll type L enter.…And choose this top edge.…Gives me a nice preview to make sure that that's…the loop that I'm after,…and if it is I can click enter to accept.…I want to change this distance of this chamfer.…Type D enter and we know from before…that this face is recessed a quarter of an inch…into the step and I want my chamfer to match that.…So I'll type .25 enter and also .25…for the second chamfer distance.…

Two more enters to finish out the command.…I've got a nice beveled edge on our top surface there.…Now, let's orbit around to the side of the step and zoom in.…We're going to try out the fillet edge command.…

This project-based AutoCAD course is perfect for flexing your 3D modeling skills. Learn to master a wide variety of AutoCAD's 3D tools while modeling a complex spiral staircase. Author Kacie Hultgren shows how to extrude 3D steps from a 2D layout, draw on faces, create chamfered edges, and build out the complete staircase from 3D blocks, primitives, and sweeps. The course covers multiple approaches to the same tasks, so you can tailor the techniques to your own workflow.
